What is Matcha Green Tea Powder?

Matcha Green Tea Powder is taken from the nutrient rich leaves of shade grown Camellia Sinensis plants. They are slowly grown and carefully tended, then steamed, stemmed and dried before being stone ground into a fine powder. The tea Powder is stored away from light and oxygen to preserve its colour, flavour and nutrients. This natural drink contains high levels of the key active compounds; polyphenols, catechins and epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC). It is more powerful than regular green tea because it is shade grown and the whole leaves are consumed rather than just the steeped water.
Legend has it that the ancient Chinese emperor and inventor of Chinese medicine, Shennong, was the first to discover the pleasant flavour and medicinal properties of green tea. This precious drink has been part of Chinese culture for almost 5000 years and is valued for its benefits to the mind and body.

Q&A

How good is your Matcha Green Tea Powder?

Matcha Green Tea is grown in the shade to maximise chlorophyll, L- theanine and antioxidant levels. It is especially beneficial because you consume the whole leaf rather than just the brewed water. One cup of this Matcha Green Tea is the equivalent to 10 cups of regular green tea in terms of nutrient density.

Our Matcha Green Tea Powder is made from 100% Matcha green tea and is highly concentrated for maximum benefits. It’s a pure powder with no additives or extras, sourced from an industry leading retailer then quality checked, packed and sealed onsite. It comes complete with a GN™ medium measuring scoop.

How does your Matcha Green Tea Powder taste?

The flavour of Matcha Green Tea is similar to regular green tea but a little stronger. Chinese Matcha is richer than Japanese Matcha with a distinctive smooth and robust taste compared to the more vegetative flavour of Japanese tea.

Amazing product. I've been hunting for a quality matcha powder at a reasonable price for some time and stumbled across this product when it was on offer for £5! Recommended by my colleagues to boost my energy levels at work, i was hesitant to try as I've heard the taste is awful.. They're not wrong there, but the benefits are amazing!! Already feeling energised without the god awful caffeine buzz I'd rely on with coffees.
I can honestly say this is the best fiver I've spent and yet to reap the other benefits of it!
Would have preferred the product in a small tub as I had green fingers getting it out of the pouch! Quality is Probably on par if not better than the more expensive stuff you see elsewhere! ☺️

I`ve been looking at this product from a few different sources but took advantage of this in the sale.
I have to say I`ve only used it for 2 days to date but very potent compared to standard green tea maybe the effects will reduce over time.
I`ve used it purely with water & also my own version of a latte using just a little semi skimmed milk. I would say the taste either way is a lot more palletable than standard green tea & will definitely purchase again.
